Anyone would need to be educational subnormal to not understand that showing support for a proscribed terrorist organisation would, rightly, and understandably facilitate your arrest.

As for the woeful, cringe inducing sensationalism. How embarrassing; priests, the elderly, and the disabled, as well as anyone with pink hair, are still subject to obeying the laws of the UK; that as someone from the UK, you don’t understand that is quite breathtaking.

Conscience demands one break unjust laws with nonviolence. Certainly, the banning of free expression is unjust.

The thousand people or so arrested for sign supporting Palestine Action sure weren't calling for any hate or violence.

How do you know what they were calling for unless you have spoken to them all; and that notwithstanding, what on earth do you not understand about supporting a proscribed terrorist organisation being against UK law ?

Show me. Tell me the rallies you mean and how they have incited hate or violence. Specifics, please.

"From the river to the sea"..that's enough hate to incite violence, which it has with the amount of stabbings and attacks on the Jewish community

Don’t be completely ridiculous; that is antithesis to law and order, which is the very cornerstone and fabric of a civilised society.

If everyone decided to break any law they did not like or agree with, civil war would only be a heartbeat away; you’ve made some bizarre comments on here, but believing that anyone should break a law just because their conscience tells them to, really takes the biscuit.

Those who championed free speech in the UK and US now wage war on it. And here’s why: Palestine

Mehdi Hasan

The Guardian: 8 Jun 2026

It was once an article of faith that even those who speak words we disagree with deserve protection. As regards Palestine, that’s now not true.

In Britain, where I was born and raised, the government proscribed the direct action group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation – with the shameful support of 385 votes in parliament from across the political spectrum. We have since witnessed priests and elderly and disabled people grabbed by the police for holding signs that simply said, “I oppose genocide; I support Palestine Action”. Their real crime was daring to speak out against a UK-enabled genocide.

Palestine is basically run and controlled by Hamas. You see this if you actually dig into it. Hamas are a terrorist organisation who, let us not forget, killed over 1000 innocent people. If Palestine is so good and the West is wrong, please explain why the Arab countries will not let Palestinians enter their countries?

OF course it is terrible when innocent people are killed but you can not ignore that Hamas build their facilities beneath structures such as hospitals and schools.

If anyone is to be blamed then Hamas must be the one.

The problem arose because some of them were holding signs supporting HAMAS and some were holding signs “From the River to the sea”.

I’m sure most of those doing that didn’t understand precisely what they were doing.

Good intentions but poor execution.

Don't play dumb! Manufacture of war, nuclear weapons, oil pipelines, Palestine Action and so much more.

I recall being out of cocktail party 25 years ago with some Jewish friends. I started chatting with a Palestinian woman who was quite interesting, and it was refreshing to get her point of view. One of my Jewish friends asked me what I was doing and why I was talking to her. Afterwards he gave me a rather stern lecture about why Jews were not supposed to mix with Palestinians. I told him he was ignorant and very narrow-minded and the next day he called me and told me that our 10-year friendship was over, and that he couldn't relate to a Jew who would question anything related to the Jewish or Israeli narrative. I later found out from a mutual friend that his parents were quite wealthy and that they donated quite a bit of money to the Israeli cause.

That sort of ignorance and blind support boggles my mind and I feel fortunate to not have friends who are so limited in their thinking.

Good Goddess! Did you not look at the news photos?!? Every one was carrying a homemade sign stating, I OPPOSE GENOCIDE! I SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION!

Just because something's been banned, proscribed, outlawed doesn't mean one can't protest it!

I'm a member of Palestine Action. We're no "terrorists"!

That phrase, also used by Israel, may cause nutjobs to violence. Viewed in the broader picture, however, the percentage of violence against Jews compared to the rest of Britain is miniscule, just more noise is made about it.

The ridiculous part is that govts think they can’t snowball violence and nobody will speak up against it.

Only bizarre to someone who buys their lies.

Nobody is saying Hamas are not at equal fault to Israel's responce. Violence is violence.

However, Hamas is supported by Qatar. If Israel really cared about eliminating Hamas rather than killing civilians, they'd be bombing Qatar, wouldn't they?

You don't care about violence against Jews. You don't care about calls for genocide og Jews. Stop your farcical play acting.

A bit off topic, but Massie slams Israel.

NONE of those in the demonstrations against the PA ban were holding any such signs!

Good execution showing the nonsense of banning an activist organisation.
